No, just wanna know if standard plan, side and front view plans are
enough or if you are looking for plans with detailed cross sections of
inside details etc or exploded view of main structural components. I've
got some quite nice plans on Alb D.I-Va from Czech modeling literature
and I can scan the D.III and email it to you or place the scan on my
website.
BTW, I'd be very interested if someone more knowledgeable would find if
these plans weren't picked from some Windsock or similar source. Well,
I'm gonna do it. Check in about one hour at

Guys,
Since I've tried something new to me that really worked (a rare =
occasion, I confess) let me share it with you:
I was going to rig my SS DIII (yes I still haven't finished it but the =
little bugger is getting better every day - 90% done now) and since I =
have pretty thick fingers this is a operation I always dread because =
there's no worse feeling than seeing the top wing come loose at the =
middle of the operation. This has happened before to me and if you do =
handle the model by the wings as I normally would do while rigging it, =
chances are that it could happen.
So here's what I did:
I laid the model belly down (no u/c yet) on a square piece of expanded =
polystyrene and secure it to it by means of elastic strips that ran over =
both wings near the roots at a place where they would cause no =
interference with any cable. the elastic strips 8mm wide and long enough =
to do the job ( 1 inch is about enough) were slightly stretched to keep =
the model in place and attached with straight pins to the foam. I was =
left with a very nice, flat, big base to hold the kit securely while =
rigging it and because of that I was able to put all the wires in the =
wings in a snap, without having to touch the wings themselves.
I'm sure some of you will find this old news but those who haven't =
tried, please think about it next time you rig a model. It's perfect.
BTW Paul where do we get to file the patent? ;-)
HTH and that I made myself clear.

Hello, just joined the mailing list. Just thought that I'd introduce
myself. You may recognize me from some of my activity on rec.models.scale
for about 4 years now. I'm a an aircraft modeler primarily in 1/48 scale,
although I have built several 1/72 kits in the last couple of years to let
off steam.
My focus is primarily military aircraft. Nothing more specific than that,
all time periods, all nations. I've yet to find a combat plane that I don't
love for one reason or another.
Current projects include:
1/48 Tamiya M6A1 Seiran floatplane
1/48 Hasegawa F6F-5 Hellcat "Minsi III"
1/72 Hasegawa F-86D
1/48 Hasegawa F-15E Strike Eagle
1/48 Eduard Nieuport 17C1 "Vieux Charles"
As far as WWI goes....other than the Nieuport, I'm planning on converting
DML's 1/48 Triplane into F.1 103/17 and doing Werner Voss' aircraft. I've
also pulled out the Blue Max 1/48 D.H. 2 and planned to do Lanoe Hawker's
aircraft, but I can't work up the nerve to tackle it yet. The jigging alone
will be a tremendous amount of work by itself.
In any case I hope that this list provides a valuable technical resource.

Ok, here goes some of my first questions. I'm trying to uncover some
standard ammunition loads for the following WWI aircraft.
Albatros D.V/D.Va
Fokker Dr.I
Halberstadt CL.II
Sopwith Camel
SPAD VIIC.1
Bristol F2B
If anyone could help me out with this information I would sincerely
appreciate it.

Dear All,
I walked in to work this morning to be greeted by 33 email messages
pertaining to this list and many of them wishing me welcome (that's
obviously why the digest option exists). I'm totally overwhelmed by the
spirit of friendship that exists here, but it's going to take me a little
time to get my replies out, so I bid your patience while I cope with more
mundane things (like work...) ; )
Many thanks to all of you for welcoming me aboard.

Well, I've finally gotten around to finishing this one off and I was
curious about how the elevator controls were mounted. The rudder and
aileron were easy enough to figure out but the Pegasus instructions
don't mention and/or detail the elevator controls. Were they internal,
or is that wishful thinking ? The only refs I have are the few photos
floating around on Al's homepage. Anyone have the datafile that might
be able to scan/xerox a three view for me ?
Also arrived at the painting stage for the Emhar Whippet. This one
went together extremely easy. Hopefully some pics will be
forthcoming.
TIA
Len
